Sooo...after a solid 3
hours of sleep my mom, Jared, David and I piled into the van at 4am
headed for Fort Wayne for my 6am flight...I know I know way to early but
what can I do! lol. So I get there and check in only to realize my
flight had been delayed! Only by 46 minutes but just enough to make sure I would be late for all my other flights and have a 6 hour layover in Detroit by myself!
After hugging goodbye and getting my bag checked through security they
came over the PA system and announced that my flight was moved back to
normal time....leaving in 15 minutes....first sprint of the day!
Landed
in Cincinnati and got off the plane around 7:15....with a flight to
catch at 7:30...picked up all 50 pounds of my carry on and sprinted
(sprint #2 of the day!) from gate 32 to gate 2...of course they have to
be at opposite ends
. After arriving at my gate and catching my breath long enough to talk
to the lady I boarded my flight to New York where once landing I found
out the girl I was to meet had also been delayed! (oh reliable
airlines!) After a quick bite and a few last calls home I found a group
of people also going to SAS and we boarded our 50 person puddle jumper
headed to Halifax!
After
arriving in Halifax I found that although I was able to be redirected
to my original flight my bag was not quite as fortunate. So, now I'm in Halifax bagless hoping in comes in before I leave tomorrow. After
getting into Halifax I met up with several girls that I am rooming with
for the night. After going to a quick grocery run and a trip out on the
lake on the paddle boats we are now waiting for one last girl and my
luggage to come in before we crash for the night and board the boat in
the morning!
Can't believe this time has actually come...I'll be on the boat tomorrow!!!

Hi Tracy,
Guess you must be without your luggage...your mom sent us an email saying you hope to get it when you get to Spain, what a crock...that must be 5 days or more. Hope you are having good sailing weather. Hang in there. Luv ya. Lila 'n Jim
